OPERATION
ARMING THE SYSTEM
You can arm your system for either de-
layed or instant alert.
When you arm the system for de-
layed alert, the system waits for the en-
try delay before sounding the alarm.
The default entry delay is 30 seconds,
but you can have ORCA Monitoring
Services set it to be from 20 to 275 sec-
onds. The system beeps once per sec-
ond during the entry delay, unless you
have selected to have it beep only once.
When you arm the system for instant
alert, the alarm sounds instantly when it
detects motion. If you select instant
alert, be sure you can get to a telephone
to disarm the system without moving
through the protected area.
The system provides an exit delay for
both delayed and instant alert arming.
The default exit delay is 60 seconds, but
you can have ORCA Monitoring Servic-
es set this to be from 20 to 275 seconds.
Follow these steps to arm the system.
1. Lift your phone’s handset and dial
1-800-YOUR PIN. For example, if
your PIN is 6864, dial 1-800-6864.
2. Press A (2) on your phone’s key-
pad to arm the system for delayed
alert or I (4) to arm the system for
instant alert.
You hear one beep through the
phone.
Note: If the system beeps three
descending tones when you arm it,
it has detected a fault with the
system — either the AC power is
disconnected, the backup battery is
dead, or the SERVICE indicator is
flashing. Disarm the system. Then
correct the problem and try again.
3. Hang up the handset within 60 sec-
onds of entering the command.
The system beeps once and the
ARMED indicator turns on. After
the exit delay (60 seconds default),
the system responds to motion.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
To disarm the system, lift your phone’s
handset and dial 1-800-YOUR PIN and
D (3). The system beeps twice through
the phone. Hang up the phone within 60
seconds. The system beeps twice to
confirm, then disarms.
Notes:
• If the system beeps three steady
tones, the alarm sounded while you
were away. Call ORCA Monitoring
Services to get details about the
alarm.
• If the system beeps three descend-
ing tones, it has detected a fault
with the system — either the AC
power is disconnected, the backup
battery is dead, or the SERVICE
indicator is flashing. Correct the
problem as soon as possible.
